Thursday Links: The Christian Response to Coronavirus

Douglas Jacoby short lesson: In this talk (16 mins), Douglas shares 6 components of a Christian response to Covid-19. While this particular coronavirus is certainly dangerous, and should be taken seriously, how we respond spiritually to the threat is even more important. There are things, from a biblical point of view, that are more important than surviving a pandemic.

What can the early church teach about the virus? The early church was no stranger to plagues, epidemics, and mass hysteria. In fact, according to both Christian and also non-Christian accounts, one of the main catalysts for the church’s explosive growth in its early years was how Christians navigated disease, suffering, and death.
